A loop striker for use with a vehicle closure latch having a rotatable fork bolt that traps a leg of the loop striker when the fork bolt is in a latched position includes a base having a pair of laterally spaced legs that is adapted for securement to a support, a cross bar that is spaced from the base and attached to the pair of laterally spaced legs, and a tab at one end of the cross bar that overhangs the trapped leg to prevent the fork bolt from walking around the corner of the loop at the en...

A loop lifter for continuous strip rolling mills has an arm which is journalled in a support for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis. An end portion of the arm carries a freely turnable roll which can engage a loop from below and lift it upwardly. A counter balancing spring reacts between a fixed pivot and the arm and assures that the pivot shaft for the arm is not subject to any free torque during pivoting movement of the arm between 0.degree. and 90.degree. of arc.

A puzzle of the type having an openable loop with two internal subloops in the form of two single turn coils spiraling continuously into each other through semi-oval non-flat curves, and a closed loop with two internal subloops in the form of two double turn coils spiraling continuously into each other through semi-oval flat curves. The two loops, when interengaged in accordance with a predetermined position, present the problem of their disengagement without opening the openable loop. For quick...

An elastomeric loop used as a suspension device, for example for suspending exhaust systems of motor vehicles, includes a closed loop of elastomeric material in which a link chain is embedded, whereby the link chain improves the suspension characteristics of the suspension device.

In a human-in-the-loop robotic control loop, the constrained forces and moments at the gripper (also called hand or end effector) of the manipulator are measured by a force-mement sensor. The resulting force and moment signals are scaled and fed as input voltages to motors in a hand controller to provide torques which oppose deflection of the hand controller. Thus, the operator feels the opposing torques which are proportional to the magnitude of the constrained forces and moments. The force fee...

A lifting loop comprising a core of parallel threads enclosed in a protecting covering which is formed by a woven ribbon that is stitched together at its edges whereby a side seam extending in the longitudinal direction of the loop is formed and the covering is made to enclose said core snugly. A second longitudinal seam may be stitched diametrically opposed to the first seam. In a simple manner is thus produced a reliable lifting loop possessing highly satisfactory lifting characteristics and m...

A carrier for watches is disclosed including a loop for engaging the clothing of a wearer and a hanger suspended by the loop. The hanger is dimensioned to support a watch inverted. In one embodiment, the hanger partially encloses and engages the outer surface of the watch case. In a second embodiment, the hanger engages a pin on the six o'clock position pin openings of a wrist watch (with strap removed). In another embodiment, the hanger encloses the watch in a clamshell like fashion. In still a...

A loop turner is used for turning a loop member inside out. The loop turner includes a bar body having a front end and a rear end. The bar body is provided with a clip segment for coming into removable engagement with the open mouth edge of the loop member, and a string holding cutout for removably holding a reinforcing string which is inserted through the loop member simultaneously while the loop member is turned inside out.

An integrator and a voltage controlled oscillator produce a variable frequency output signal. A primary loop is locked to an input signal and has a narrow bandwidth allowing the output signal to precisely track the input signal. An initialization loop is locked to an internally generated reference signal and has a wide bandwidth for pulling the frequency of the output signal very close to the frequency of the reference signal. Since the frequency of the reference signal is approximately equal to...

An improved loop antenna (10) comprises first (12) and second (16) conductive loops. Each of the first and second conductive loops has a discontinuity (14, 18). The first and second conductive loops (12, 16) are arranged substantially concentrically to form a capacitive coupling such that the tuned frequency of the loop antenna (10) has improved protection from external capacitance effects.
